Dark Reader: Especially late at night white page background just burns out my retinas, no idea how I ever managed before.
I use that one on Android, since I have a OLED screen and it seems to do wonders for my battery life.
It seems to do weird things to some websites where for me it also leaves text dark/black
I find it works fine for most websites and I just disable per site if DR has made a website unreadable
Sometimes it doesn't work, especially when it is a particularly weird colour palette, but it gets it right most of the time. In that case it does have the options to make some adjustments or just turn it of for that particular site.
Tab Snooze - allows you to close a tab and have it reappear at a chosen time later
Media URL Timestamper - automatically inserts the current timestamp of the YouTube/Twitch video you're watching and updates it in the history in case you accidentally close/navigate away from the page or go to a different time in the video
Feedbro - RSS reader with filtering capabilities
Redirector - auto-redirect specific URLs (for example, changing a YouTube Shorts url into a regular one, or changing Reddit links to always go to Old Reddit)
Undo Close Tab Button - allows you to restore recently closed tabs including the tab's history in the back button (max amount = browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo)
Violentmonkey - using userscripts that allow you to change things on websites.
/^(Key)?(End|I|O)|(Digit|Numpad)\d$/ instead of /^(?:Digit|Numpad)\d$/ (thanks to this post), to also disable the End/I/O keys in addition to the number keys.*.youtube.com/* then put *://*.youtube.com/* in the "@match rules" line in the settings)YouTube Comment Reader - allows you to search through the comments of a video (by clicking on the addon in the Extension menu and then clicking on the "YouTube Comment Reader" at the top or the "X Comments" at the bottom of the tooltip)
Page Shadow - allows you to use dark and light themes on sites that don't have the option to change it.
And if you're like me and you find that some YT videos feel too slow but 1.25x is too fast, then you can use Enhancer for YouTube's "Playback speed" feature to have smaller speed steps. Then you can hold ctrl and use the scrollwheel (while over the video) to change the video's speed by the amount you chose (I use 0.05 speed variation, mostly changing to 1.05x or 1.10x)
Undo close tab is already a feature in most browsers. Ctrl shift t (or cmd shift t).
Consent-o-matic !
That's the same as Ublock Origin - Anoyances list, you don't need a separate addon for that.
Ublock Origin -> Settings -> External Filters -> Annoyances -> Tick all
Consent-o-Matic actually declines the cookies but that just hides the banner
And of course uBlock Origin. :)
Aside from the standard one's I see:
Streaming enhanced: Netflix Disney+ Prime Video
Automatically skip Ads, Intros, Credits and add Speed Control, etc. on Netflix, Prime video, Disney+, Crunchyroll and HBO max.
Ublock origin, Sponsor block, and NoScript
NoScript
I've been faithful to firefox almost since it's been out thanks to this. I can't imagine being on the internet with everything on a website on by default
A few years back NoScript was often recommended. I used it for a while but I'm not sure I did it right.
First time you go to a new website do you go through the process of allowing some scripts to make it usable?
Haven't seen anyone mention Decentraleyes yet. Serves CDN assets locally to avoid CDNs as a vector for tracking or fingerprinting.
Ublock Origin: No brainer. You can block just about every intrusive component of the modern internet with just this.
Stylus: Write CSS themes for websites
User-Agent Manager: For compatibility purposes, switch your user-agent to chromium on some websites
Libredirect
ClearURLs: Copy links without tracking or affiliation
Dark Reader: Dark mode everywhere
Temporary Containers: Provides some nifty shortcuts and features for creating temporary containers
Some of my picks to add to all other comments
I also have many ***monkey and stylus scripts.
Didn’t see it mentioned — SingleFile is an awesome tool to save the whole page as a single compatible with everything HTML file with embedded css and images.
I use these ones frequently:
For me, it's many of the ones people have already said, plus:
Privacy redirect is unmaintained, not updated for 3 years, switch to LibRedirect
Thank you for taking the time to write this, LibRedirect is so much better!
Not on mobile but on desktop Firefox Multi-Account Containers paired with Temporary Containers is a funcking godsend. Especially so when I'm doing web dev work.
Other that that uBlock is pretty high on the list as usuall.
Cloud to butt
I've been using it for such a long time. It's only on my PC. I don't use my PC for much anymore, so when I see the word "butt" when it should say "cloud," I get a little chuckle.
Apart from what everyone already posted:
uBlacklist - hides some pages from search engine search results (I use it to hide reddit) - https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist
Tridactyl - like Surfingkeys, Vimium etc. - more vimlike experience for Firefox - you can also optionally install a native extension to run shell commands in the os from within ff (yeah dangerous): https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl
Sieberry, it's what Mozilla is unable to do, nice looking and working vertical tabs.
Simple Translate is nice too just mark a text and instant translation.
I still don't care about cookies, yeah just leave me alone.
Scroll everywhere, right Click to scroll any page. Should be vanilla feature.
Keepa, for amazon price history of any product.
The usual +
I think it's more performant and lightweight than dark reader. So I get more screentime.
My favourites are:
It makes, say, Amazon links not a three-page bookwork
Use uBlock Origin's wiki / rules for this instead. Reduces an add-on and achieves the same/better results!
Chameleon. My user agent changes every 30 seconds. Makes attempts to track me basically useless.
Changing your user agent will not stop you being tracked. Browser fingerprinting can work with heaps of different signals, and is very difficult to block.
Bitwarden. Hands down the best decision I made in regards to web safety was switching to a proper password manager.
Close second is uBlock Origin.
Also make sure to use DecentralEyes for easy enhanced privacy.
I use NoScript, but that level of granular control isn't everyone's cup of tea
Ublock Origin, NoScript, Chameleon, Libredirect, DarkReader, OneTab, Stack Overflow Prettifier, Classic Mode For Wikipedia, Vimium
Must haves IMHO:
uBlock Origin Consent-o-Matic
Making life easier:
SponsorBlock Enhancer for YouTube DarkReader Multi Account Containers
Since it's not mentioned before, check out DeArrow. It makes YouTube bearable.
Not trying to hijack this post but does anyone know of an add-on that syncs your bookmarks toolbar? Its the only thing holding me back from being fully on librewolf.
Librewolf has Mozilla sync, otherwise you could try using a third party syncing tool to sync your librewolf profile directory?
Dark Reader is sort of annoying to set up, but I like it. It would be better if you could choose to share your location with it rather than inputting your lat/long manually. (It's possible that's a limitation of extensions though.)
I use the DDG extension too but it's caused problems by blocking a webpage on localhost for some reason. Not sure what it does that uBO and Privacy Badger cannot.
I haven't used https://adnauseam.io/ but I like the idea of it. I stick with uBO and use AdGuard's public DNS in my router (too lazy to set up pihole).
Gesturefy: It brings the mouse gesture functionality known from Opera to Firefox.
uBlock Origin (this is the real one) uBlacklist (this blocks sites from your search results)
